NICOLE

I really like making cakes for friends, then you get to see their reaction (as well as eat some). I have decided the middle mini sized cake is my favourite, the really small mini ones (about 8cm wide) are good for just one person, but this size which is about 15cm wide is big enough to share .... and maybe small enough to scoff the lot if you felt like it.

This cake is a wheat free cake that just happens to be dairy free and have vegtables in it so it's practically good for you. It was a Lemon Birthday Cake from a great cook book called 'Red Velvet and Chocolate Heartache' by Harry Eastwood. The design is based on one I found on-line at Inspired by Michelle cake designs, which she had made for a friend called... Nicole.

I loved the colours and the great pink flower on top.

Happy Birthday Nicole

Iggle Piggle Number 2

Well my first shaped cake covered in sugar icing. This was a first birthday cake for Zachary. The remit was a baby blue number one with an iggle piggle on it.... I think it turned out quite well in the end, the stars and spots turned out to be a handy way to cover icing mishaps.... like for where I put my finger through it. The cake was a vanilla sponge cake with raspberry jam and vanilla icing in the middle. Yum.

Thought I should put some past cupcake endevours up too....
This was a trial lion and bear... they are vanilla cupcakes with chocolate icing and sugarpaste faces.

MEEEOW.

No cakes for a while, but I did get a lovely shiney red box to put all my cake things in so they are not all over the table, a good find thanks Alex.
but now I do have two new cakes to make... another Iggle Piggle cake this time for a first birthday and a belated mini birthday cake, I have just made all the decorations for them both... my iggle piggle looks a bit scary and I practised my modelling and made a meow.
